Today, it's time to talk to Rick Kennedy, the Democratic representative for Texas' 17th Congressional District. It's unusual to meet a politician that's as open as Rick is, and he left me feeling like I'd just had a chat with one of my buddies.  He is a self-described optimist, even though he's campaigning in a Republican area and against an opponent with considerably more funding.   He doesn't have any big corporations to answer to, and instead gets all his campaign funding from regular citizens. And this is what Rick prides himself on.  He describes the Republicans as too fixated on short-term solutions and pleasing their donors. Instead, he wants to shift the focus to health, security and prosperity.  After interviewing Pete Sessions in the last episode, it's nice to hear the other possibilities, and being a Democrat I have to say it seems like a closer option to me... “Nobody owns me, all of my contributions come from individual people, and if you want to know who you're representative in Washington is going to work for, look where the money's coming from.” - Rick Kennedy  Time Stamps: 01:27 - Who Rick Kennedy is and how our conversation went. 07:01 - Why he decided to move to Texas and what he thinks of the state. 13:00 - Rick's thoughts on the most recent Presidential debate. 17:05 - The rigged nature of American politics and the problems with private campaign funding. 23:11 - Rick's position against the status quo. 27:21 - Why he got involved in politics. 30:10 - What it was like when he first ran for the Congress. 35:40 - How to inspire trust in voters and the problems with using short-term fixes without considering the long-term costs. 40:14 - Rick's position on America's healthcare system and policies. 52:39 - The chances there are of Texas turning blue. 56:01 - How the pandemic has affected Rick and the ways he's had to adapt his campaign because of it. 1:01:57 - The most important things for voters to know about Rick Kennedy.  Resources:  Texas Real Food Connect with Rick Kennedy: Website Twitter Facebook Connect with Patrick Scott Armstrong: Instagram Facebook Email

As a kid in the Dominican Republic, Pavel Polanco-Safadit fell in love with piano and spent hours each day perfecting his technique. This passion and skill eventually earned him a college scholarship to study music in the U.S., and he went on to earn a masters and doctorate in music. For years, Pavel taught music at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, where he continues to be a leader in the community as Executive Director of the Richmond’s Amigos Latino Center. In this episode, Pavel talks about his experience immigrating to the Midwest, his passion for Latin jazz, and the power of music as a bridge across cultures. He also shares more about Richmond, a small town with a surprisingly large role in the history of recorded jazz.  To hear more of Pavel’s music, visit the Facebook page for his band, Pavel and Direct Contact, which has videos of recent performances and information about upcoming shows. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the band has live-streamed several virtual performances together with Dominican jazz musicians. He maintains a strong relationship with his native country, returning each year to lead the Music Ed Fest, providing musical opportunities to a new generation of young Dominicans.

After another hiatus (the last one of the summer–promise!) we return to conclude our conversation with Rick Kennedy on Cotton Mather. His father, Increase Mather (yes, that was his first name; no, we didn't ask why, and if we ever knew, we forgot), died just five years before Cotton did. So for almost his entire life, Cotton was his father's associate pastor. While Increase was writing sermons, and theology, and  butting into politics, and sailing off to London, Cotton was walking around the North End of Boston visiting the sick, the dying, and all the other "pastoral" things that his father didn't do. So this week we talk about Cotton the Pastor, and Cotton the Bostonian; as well as Cotton the Harvard Man. Enjoy.

Hello! Historically Thinking today returns from a summer break (or, to be precise, Al Zambone does). Recording far from the Augustana College campus and the studio of WAUG, in a pirate-radio bootleg setup of sorts, we bring you a thrill-ride of a summer blockbuster devoted to...a colonial New England theologian you've never heard of. Probably ever. Unless you're weird. Or over-educated. Cotton Mather (1663-1728) was a Boston preacher who was the son of a Boston preacher and the grandson of a Boston preacher. He lived all of his life pretty much in Boston's North End. Yet that life was lived amongst momentous cultural, political, and religious transitions, many of which Mather pushed along for all he was worth in innumerable sermons and writings. (Cotton Mather, you see, had very few unwritten thoughts.) This week we have a conversation with Rick Kennedy, Professor of History at Point Loma Nazarene College, and author of the recently published The First American Evangelical: A Short Life of Cotton Mather.  This conversation is focused on the big events of Mather's life, most of which (like the Halfway Covenant and the Smallpox inoculation controversy) normal haven't heard of, and one of which (the Salem Witch Trials) they certainly have. Next week we'll be talking about the difference between Puritanism and Evangelicalism, and how Cotton Mather was or was not a part of the Enlightenment. See you then!

The early recorded history of jazz, blues, and country music in America usually isn’t associated with a place like Richmond, Indiana. However, for a brief period early in the 20th century the Gennett record label based in Richmond recorded music from artists such as Gene Autry, Charley Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and Hoagy Carmichael. Learn about the history of the label from Rick Kennedy, the author of Jelly Roll, Bix, and Hoagy. Music featured: Charley Patton – Down the Dirt Road Blues Fiddlin’ Doc Roberts – Deer Walk Bix Beiderbecke – Davenport Blues William Harris – Bullfrog Blues Hoagy Carmichael & Pals – Stardust King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band – Chimes Blues Jelly Roll Morton – King Porter Stomp Scrapper Blackwell – Blue Day Blues Recommended: Blind Lemon Jefferson – Mosquito Moan Charley Patton – Spoonful Blues New Orleans Rhythm Kings – Mr. Jelly Lord Fletcher Henderson – Honey Bunch Marion McKay – Hootenanny Sounds Used (freesound.org): ‘locomotive.wav’ by laurent, ‘Stem_Train.wav’ by knufds, Note: When the episode was originally published, we used an incorrect estimation of the number of white males in the KKK in Richmond in the 1920′s. The issue was corrected in this version of the program. We regret the error.
